I am certain now that using a VDU can be bad for your eyes, especially if you are already myopic. The more I use a VDU the more short sighted I become.

Thus far the effect appears to be reversible: repeatably my eyesight improves over several months if I greatly reduce my use of a VDU. My VDU is set up as per VDE regulations.

I have also found that wearing hard contact lenses rather than spectacles consistently improves my natural eyesight over several months. That effect seems to be recognised within the ophthalmic industry but few opticians are willing to discuss it.

When using a VDU, a snag with wearing contact lenses which compensate for myopia is that after your age exceeds about 40 years a lack of accommodation sets in with the result that you need VDU glasses when wearing the contact lenses. Ah well ....
